I am new to XMOS, so new in fact that I had not heard of them until a couple of weeks ago. However having studied the documentation and followed this forum over those two weeks my mind is racing with possibilities that these chips open up.

My main interests are around motion control and I can see all sorts of possibilities that the chips have for high speed I/O.

I am also interested in coupling these chips to ARM processors of which my favourite at the moment is the LPC1768 from NXP.

I have come to XMOS after working with Atmel AVR and more recently NXP LPC ARM chips. After the initial rather steep learning curve I am really enjoying working with ARM they are great being so well endowed with peripherals. I use Rowley Crossworks for ARM as the C development environment. Crossworks is great.

I am currently investigating the possibility of interfacing the XMOS chips to ARM processors using XLink.

If this is feasible it opens up possibilities of communicating with individual XMOS threads directly from the ARM chips.
